Abstract: There is described a process for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet excellent in press-formability, having, on the surface thereof, numerous fine concavities, by subjecting a cold-rolled steel sheet to a zinc dip-plating treatment in a zinc dip-plating bath having an aluminum content of from 0.05 to 0.30 wt.%, in which the temperature region causing an initial reaction for forming an iron-aluminum layer is limited within a range of from 500 to 600 °C , an alloying treatment in which an alloying treatment temperature is limited within a range of from 480 to 600 °C , and a temper-rolling treatment.

Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet excellent in press-formability. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets and zinciferous electroplated steel sheets have conventionally been used as outer shells for an automobile body, a home electric appliance and furniture. Recently, however, the alloying-treated iron-zinc dip-plated steel sheet is attracting greater general attention than the zinciferous electroplated steel sheet for the following reasons: (1) The zinciferous electroplated steel sheet having a relatively small plating weight, manufactured usually by subjecting a cold-rolled steel sheet having an adjusted surface roughness to a zinc electroplating treatment, is preferably employed as a steel sheet required to be excellent in finish appearance after painting and in corrosion resistance such as a steel sheet for an automobile body; (2) However, the steel sheet for an automobile body is required to exhibit a further excellent corrosion resistance; (3) In order to impart a further excellent corrosion resistance to the above-mentioned zinciferous electroplated steel sheet, it is necessary to increase a plating weight thereof, and the plating weight thus increased leads to a higher manufacturing cost of the zinciferous electroplated steel sheet; and (4) On the other hand, the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet is excellent in electro-paintability, weldability and corrosion resistance, and furthermore, it is relatively easy to increase a plating weight thereof. However, in the above-mentioned conventional alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, the difference in an iron content between the surface portion and the inner portion of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer becomes larger according as the plating weight increases, because the alloying treatment is accomplished through the thermal diffusion. More specifically, a Γ -phase having a high iron content tends to be easily produced on the interface between the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer and the steel sheet, and a ζ -phase having a low iron content is easily produced, on the other hand, in the surface portion of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer. The Γ -phase is more brittle as compared with the ζ -phase. In the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer which has a structure comprising the Γ -phase and a structure comprising the ζ -phase, a high amount of the Γ -phase results in breakage of the brittle Γ -phase during the press-forming, which leads to a powdery peeloff of the plating layer and to a powdering phenomenon. When the ζ -phase is present in the surface portion of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer, on the other hand, the ζ -phase structure adheres to a die during the press-forming because the ζ -phase has a relatively low melting point, leading to a higher sliding resistance, and this poses a problem of the occurrence of die galling or press cracking. In the above-mentioned conventional alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, particularly in an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet having a large plating weight, furthermore, an effect of improving image clarity after painting of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet cannot be expected from adjustment of surface roughness of the steel sheet before a zinc dip-plating treatment. Various methods have therefore been proposed to improve press-formability and/or image clarity after painting of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 4-358 discloses a method for improving press-formability of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet by applying any of various high-viscosity rust-preventive oils and solid lubricants onto a surface of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet (hereinafter referred to as the "prior art 1"). Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 1-319,661 discloses a method for improving press-formability of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet by forming a plating layer having a relatively high hardness, such as an iron-group metal alloy plating layer on a plating layer of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet; Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 3-243,755 discloses a method for improving press-formability of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet by forming an organic resin film on a plating layer of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet; and Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 2-190,483 discloses a method for improving press-formability of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet by forming an oxide film on a plating layer of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet (methods for improving press-formability of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet by forming another layer or another film on the plating layer of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet as described above, being hereinafter referred to as the "prior art 2"). Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 2-274,859 discloses a method for improving press-formability and image clarity after painting of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet by subjecting the alloying-treated zinc dip-plated steel sheet to a temper-rolling treatment with the use of rolls of which surfaces have been applied with a dull-finishing treatment by means of a laser beam, i.e., with the use of laser-textured dull rolls, to adjust a surface roughness thereof (hereinafter referred to as the "prior art 3"). Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 2-57,670 discloses a method for improving press-formability of an alloying-treated zinc dip-plated steel sheet by imparting, during an annealing step in a continuous zinc dip-plating line, a surface roughness comprising a center-line mean roughness (Ra) of up to 1.0 µm to a steel sheet through inhibition of an amount of an oxide film formed on the surface of the steel sheet, and imparting a surface roughness having a peak counting (PPI) of at least 250 (a cutoff value of 1.25 µ m) to an alloying-treated zinc dip-plating layer (hereinafter referred to as the "prior art 4"). Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 2-175,007, Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 2-185,959, Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 2-225,652 and Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 4-285,149 disclose a method for improving image clarity after painting of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet by using, as a substrate sheet for plating, a cold-rolled steel sheet of which a surface roughness as represented by a center-line mean roughness (Ra), a filtered center-line waviness (Wca) and a peak counting (PPI), is adjusted through the cold-rolling with the use of specific rolls, and subjecting a zinc dip-plating layer formed on the surface of said cold-rolled steel sheet to an alloying treatment, or subjecting the thus obtained alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet to a temper-rolling treatment with the use of specific rolls (hereinafter referred to as the "prior art 5"). Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 2-274,860 discloses a method for improving press-formability of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet by forming numerous fine concavities on a surface of a cold-rolled steel sheet as a substrate sheet for plating with the use of the laser-textured dull rolls to impart a prescribed surface roughness on said surface (hereinafter referred to as the "prior art 6"). Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 2-225,652 discloses a method for improving press-formability of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet by forming numerous fine concavities having a depth within a range of from 10 to 500 µm on a surface of a cold-rolled steel sheet, particularly, by forming numerous fine concavities having a wavelength region within a range of from 10 to 100 µm and a depth of about 10 µm on a surface of a plating layer during the alloying treatment of the plating layer (hereinafter referred to as the "prior art 7"). However, the prior art 1 has the following problems: It is not easy to remove a high-viscosity rust-preventive oil or a solid lubricant applied over the surface of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, so that it is inevitable to use an organic solvent as a degreasing agent for facilitating removal of such a rust-preventive oil or a solid lubricant, thus resulting in a deteriorated environment of the press-forming work site. The prior art 2 not only requires a high cost, but also leads to deterioration of operability and productivity. The prior art 3 has the following problems: (a) Because each of the numerous fine concavities formed on the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer on the surface of the steel sheet has such a large area as from 500 to 10,000 µm 2 , it is difficult to keep a press oil received in these concavities, and the press oil tends to easily flow out from the concavities. Consequently, the press oil flows out from the concavities during the transfer of the steel sheet in the press-forming step, thus decreasing press-formability. (b) Because, from among the above-mentioned numerous fine concavities, a length of a flat portion between two adjacent concavities is relatively large as from 50 to 300 µm, improvement of press-formability by keeping the press oil in the concavities is limited to a certain extent. More specifically, even when the press oil is kept in these concavities, lack of the press oil occurs while a die passes on the above-mentioned flat portion during the press-forming because of the long flat portion between two adjacent concavities, so that the sudden increase in coefficient of friction causes a microscopic seizure, resulting in die galling and press cracking. (c) When the length of the flat portion between two adjacent concavities from among the numerous fine concavities is so large as described above, a so-called surface waviness component, which deteriorates image clarity after painting, remains on the surface of the plating layer of the alloying-treated zinc dip-plated steel sheet, thus resulting in a decreased image clarity after painting. (d) When, after the manufacture of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, forming numerous fine concavities having the above-mentioned shape and size on the surface of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer by applying a temper-rolling treatment to the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet with the use of the laser-textured dull rolls, the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer is subjected to a serious deformation during the temper-rolling treatment, and this causes easy peeloff of the plating layer. (e) Application of the dull-finishing treatment to the roll surface by means of a laser beam requires a large amount of cost, and furthermore, it is necessary to frequently replace the laser-textured dull rolls because of serious wear of the numerous fine concavities formed on the surface thereof. The prior art 4 has the following problems: (a) When using, as a substrate sheet for plating, a steel sheet having a surface roughness as represented by a center-line mean roughness (Ra) of up to 1.0 µm, dross tends to easily adhere onto the surface of the steel sheet because of a large area of the close contact portion of the steel sheet with a roll in the zinc-dip-plating bath. It is therefore impossible to prevent defects in the plated steel sheet caused by adhesion of dross to the surface of the steel sheet. When using a steel sheet applied with a temper rolling with the use of dull rolls, on the other hand, dross hardly adheres onto the surface of the steel sheet because of a small area of the close contact portion of the steel sheet with a roll in the zinc dip-plating bath, but is blown back to the zinc dip-plating bath during the gas wiping. As a result, the plated steel sheet is free from defects caused by dross. (b) The prior art 4 imparts a high peak counting (PPI) to an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer through an alloying reaction of the plating layer itself during the alloying treatment of the zinc dip-plating layer. With a high peak counting (PPI) alone, however, not only self-lubricity is insufficient, but also the amount of the press oil kept on the surface of the plating layer is small. As a result, lack of the press oil occurs while the die passes on the surface of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer during the press-forming, and the sudden increase in coefficient of friction causes a microscopic seizure, resulting in die galling and press cracking. (c) In the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet of the prior art 4, while the number of fine concavities per mm 2 of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer is satisfactory, no consideration is made on a bearing length ratio tp (2 µ m). It is therefore impossible to impart an excellent image clarity after painting to the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. The prior arts 5 to 7 have the following problems: (a) Image clarity after painting is not necessarily improved by using, as a substrate sheet for plating, a cold-rolled steel sheet having an adjusted surface roughness as represented by a center-line mean roughness (Ra), a filtered center-line waviness (Wca) and a peak counting (PPI), or a steel sheet subjected to a cold-rolling treatment with the use of specific rolls, as in the prior art 5. (b) When carrying out a cold-rolling treatment with the use of the bright rolls or the laser-textured dull rolls, serious wear of the rolls during the cold-rolling leads to a shorter service life of the rolls. In order to achieve a satisfactory image clarity after painting and a good press-formability, therefore, it is necessary to frequently replace the rolls, thus resulting in a serious decrease in productivity. (c) Image clarity after painting is not always improved even by applying a temper-rolling treatment with the use of specific rolls as disclosed in the prior art 5 after applying a zinc dip-plating treatment followed by an alloying treatment to a steel sheet. (d) When carrying out a temper-rolling treatment with the use of the bright rolls or the laser-textured dull rolls, the rolls suffer from serious wear during the temper-rolling, leading to a shorter service life of the rolls. In order to achieve a satisfactory image clarity after painting and a good press-formability, therefore, it is necessary to frequently replace the rolls, thus resulting in a serious decrease in productivity. (e) When manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet in accordance with the method disclosed in the prior art 5, press-formability thereof is deteriorated. (f) In the method comprising forming numerous fine concavities on the surface of a cold-rolled steel sheet as in the prior art 7, the numerous fine concavities cannot be formed under some alloying treatment conditions, and even when numerous fine concavities are formed, the press oil received in the concavities cannot be kept satisfactorily. Consequently, the press oil easily flows out from the concavities during the transfer of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. The lubricity effect is therefore insufficient, easily causing die galling or press cracking. (g) When numerous fine concavities are formed on the surface of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet by subjecting a cold-rolled steel sheet to a zinc dip-plating treatment followed by an alloying treatment, and then applying a temper-rolling treatment with the use of the laser-textured dull rolls, as in the prior art 6, the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer tends to be seriously damaged during the temper rolling, leading to easy peeloff and a deteriorated powdering resistance. (h) Each of the numerous fine concavities formed on the surface of a cold-rolled steel sheet with the use of the laser-textured dull rolls is relatively large in size. The press oil received in the concavities cannot therefore be kept satisfactorily, but flows out from the concavities during the transfer of the alloying-treated iron-zinc dip-plated steel sheet in the press-forming step, and this leads to an insufficient lubricity effect and to easy occurrence of die galling and press cracking. (i) From among numerous fine concavities formed on the surface of a cold-rolled steel sheet with the use of the laser-textured dull rolls, a length of a flat portion between two adjacent concavities is relatively large. The effect of improving press-formability by keeping the press oil in the concavities is therefore limited to a certain extent. Even when the press oil is kept in these concavities, lack of the press oil occurs while a die passes on the above-mentioned flat portion during the press-forming because of the long flat portion between two adjacent concavities, resulting in an insufficient lubricity. Die galling and press cracking may easily be caused. Under such circumstances, there is a strong demand for development of a method for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet excellent in press-formability, which enables to solve the problems involved in the prior arts 5 to 7, but such a method for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet has not as yet been proposed. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet excellent in press-formability, which enables to solve the above-mentioned problems involved in the prior arts 5 to 7. US-A-4 059 711 discloses a partially alloyed galvanized ferrous strand and a method for its production.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS From the above-mentioned point of view, extensive studies were carried out to develop a method for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet excellent in press-formability, which enables to solve the above-mentioned problems involved in the prior arts 5 to 7. As a result, the following findings were obtained regarding a method for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet excellent in press-formability, which comprises the steps of: subjecting a hot-rolled steel sheet to a cold-rolling treatment to prepare a cold-rolled steel sheet; passing the cold-rolled steel sheet through a zinc dip-plating bath having a chemical composition comprising zinc, aluminum and incidental impurities to apply a zinc dip-plating treatment to the cold-rolled steel sheet, thereby forming a zinc dip-plating layer on at least one surface of the cold-rolled steel sheet; subjecting the cold-rolled steel sheet having the zinc dip-plating layer thus formed on the surface thereof to an alloying treatment at a prescribed temperature, thereby forming an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer on the above-mentioned at least one surface of the cold-rolled steel sheet, the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer having numerous fine concavities; and then subjecting the cold-rolled steel sheet having the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer having the numerous fine concavities thus formed on the surface thereof to a temper rolling, thereby manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet excellent in press-formability: (a) it is possible to provide a method for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet excellent in press-formability, which enables to solve the problems involved in the prior arts 5 to 7, by limiting the content of aluminum in the zinc dip-plating bath within a range of from 0.05 to 0.30 wt.%; limiting the temperature region causing an initial reaction for forming an iron-aluminum alloy layer in the zinc dip-plating treatment within a range of from 500 to 600 °C ; and limiting the prescribed temperature in the alloying treatment within a range of from 480 to 600 °C . The first embodiment of the invention was made on the basis of the above-mentioned finding (a). Now, the method of the first embodiment of the invention for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet excellent in press-formability is described. The relationship between the plating conditions of a cold-rolled steel sheet including a zinc dip-plating treatment condition and an alloying treatment condition and the construction of a plating layer, was investigated and a method for improving press-formability was studied. Numerous fine irregularities intrinsic to a plated steel sheet of this type are formed on the surface of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. The situation of formation of such numerous fine irregularities is largely affected by a zinc dip-plating treatment condition and an alloying treatment condition. It is therefore possible to form numerous fine concavities permitting improvement of press-formability on the surface of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, by appropriately selecting the zinc dip-plating treatment condition and the alloying treatment condition. Extensive studies were therefore carried out to obtain a method for forming an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer on the surface of a steel sheet. As a result, the following findings were obtained. More specifically, in a method for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet which comprises the steps of: subjecting a hot-rolled steel sheet to a cold-rolling treatment to prepare a cold-rolled steel sheet; passing the cold-rolled steel sheet through a zinc dip-plating bath having a chemical composition comprising zinc, aluminum and incidental impurities to apply a zinc dip-plating treatment to the cold-rolled steel sheet, thereby forming a zinc dip-plating layer on at least one surface of the cold-rolled steel sheet; subjecting the cold-rolled steel sheet having the zinc dip-plating layer thus formed on the surface thereof to an alloying treatment at a prescribed temperature, thereby forming an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer on that at least one surface of the cold-rolled steel sheet, the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer having numerous fine concavities; and then subjecting the cold-rolled steel sheet having the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer having the numerous fine concavities thus formed on the surface thereof to a temper rolling; it is possible to manufacture an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet excellent in press-formability, provided with an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer having numerous fine concavities, by: (1) limiting the content of aluminum in the zinc dip-plating bath within a range of from 0.05 to 0.30 wt.%; (2) limiting the temperature region causing an initial reaction for forming an iron-aluminum alloy layer in the zinc dip-plating treatment within a range of from 500 to 600 °C ; and (3) limiting the prescribed temperature in the alloying treatment within a range of from 480 to 600 °C . An investigation in detail was carried out regarding a zinc dip-plating treatment and an alloying treatment of a zinc dip-plating layer in the conventional method for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. As a result, the following facts were clarified. The zinc dip-plating treatment and the alloying treatment in the conventional method for manufacturing the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet are described below with reference to Figs. 1 to 4 . Fig. 1 is a schematic descriptive view illustrating an initial reaction in which an iron-aluminum alloy layer is formed in a conventional zinc alloy dip-plating treatment for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet; Fig. 2 is a schematic descriptive view illustrating columnar crystals comprising a ζ -phase formed on an iron-aluminum alloy layer in a conventional alloying treatment; Fig. 3 is a schematic descriptive view illustrating an out-burst structure, comprising an iron-zinc alloy, formed in the conventional alloying treatment; and Fig. 4 is a schematic descriptive view illustrating an iron-zinc alloy layer formed by the growth of an out-burst structure comprising an iron-zinc alloy in the conventional alloying treatment. As shown in Fig. 1 , immediately after dipping a cold-rolled steel sheet 5 into a zinc dip-plating bath containing aluminum, a thin iron-aluminum alloy layer 10 is produced on the interface between the steel sheet 5 and a zinc plating layer 9 to inhibit the growth of an iron-zinc alloy. Then, at the very beginning of the initial stage of the alloying treatment, as shown in Fig. 2, columnar crystals 11 comprising a ζ -phase are produced on the iron-aluminum alloy layer 10, and grow then. At the same time, zinc diffuses through the iron-aluminum layer 10 into crystal grain boundaries 8, and an iron-zinc alloy is produced along the crystal grain boundaries 8. Then, as shown in Fig. 3, a change in volume is produced under the effect of the production of an iron-zinc alloy along the crystal grain boundaries 8, which in turn causes a mechanical breakage of the thin iron-aluminum alloy layer 10. Pieces 10' of the thus broken iron-aluminum alloy layer 10 are peeled off from the interface between the steel sheet 5 and the zinc dip-plated layer 9, and are pushed out into the zinc dip-plating layer 9. Iron and zinc come into contact with each other in each of portions where the thin iron-aluminum alloy layer 10 has disappeared, and an alloying reaction immediately takes place between iron and zinc, thus forming an out-burst structure 6' (this reaction being hereinafter referred to as an "out-burst reaction"). According as the alloying reaction proceeds further, the out-burst structure 6' grows laterally, and the entire plating layer gradually becomes iron-zinc alloy layer whereby, as shown in Fig. 4, the entire surface of the steel sheet 5 is covered with an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer 6. When manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, it has been a conventional practice to add aluminum in a slight amount to a zinc dip-plating bath to form, as shown in Fig. 1, a thin iron-aluminum alloy layer 10 on the surface of the steel sheet 5, thereby controlling the alloying reaction rate between iron and zinc. As a result of a detailed study on an inhibiting phenomenon of an alloying reaction between iron and zinc by means of the iron-aluminum alloy layer and an out-burst reaction, it was further found that an out-burst reaction took place remarkably within a temperature region of from 480 to 600 °C , and particularly, within a temperature region of from 480 to 540 °C , an out-burst reaction occurred the most actively, and that numerous fine concavities were formed on the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer by appropriately combining the inhibiting phenomenon of the alloying reaction between iron and zinc by means of the iron-aluminum, and the out-burst reaction. Furthermore, in view of improvement of press-formability brought about by keeping the press oil in the above-mentioned numerous fine concavities, it was clarified that an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet excellent in press-formability could be manufactured by achieving optimization of the size and the number of numerous fine concavities. Now, a zinc dip-plating treatment and an alloying treatment in the method of the first embodiment of the invention for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet are described below with reference to Figs. 5 to 8. Fig. 5 is a schematic descriptive view illustrating an initial reaction in which an iron-aluminum alloy layer is formed in a zinc dip-plating treatment according to the method of the first embodiment of the invention for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet; Fig. 6 is a schematic descriptive view illustrating columnar crystals comprising a ζ -phase formed on the iron-aluminum alloy layer in an alloying treatment according to the method of the first embodiment of the invention; Fig. 7 is a schematic descriptive view illustrating an out-burst structure, comprising an iron-zinc alloy, formed in the alloying treatment according to the method of the first embodiment of the invention; and Fig. 8 is a schematic descriptive view illustrating one of fine concavities formed in the alloying treatment according to the method of the first embodiment of the invention. In the method of the first embodiment of the invention, a zinc dip-plating treatment is accomplished by dipping a cold-rolled steel sheet into a zinc dip-plating bath having a chemical composition comprising zinc, aluminum in an amount within a range of from 0.05 to 0.30 wt.%, and incidental impurities, so that an initial reaction, in which an iron-aluminum alloy layer is formed, takes place in a temperature region of from 500 to 600 °C . As a result, the alloying reaction rate between aluminum and the steel sheet in the zinc dip-plating bath is accelerated, and a thick iron-aluminum alloy layer 10 is formed on an interface between the cold-rolled steel sheet 5 and the zinc dip-plating layer 9 as shown in Fig. 5. Then, the steel sheet 5 having the iron-aluminum alloy layer 10 on the surface thereof and the zinc dip-plating layer 9 formed thereon, is subjected to an alloying treatment in an alloying furnace at a temperature within a range of from 480 to 600 °C . At the very beginning of the initial stage of alloying treatment, columnar crystals 11 comprising a ζ -phase are produced and grow then on the iron-aluminum alloy layer 10 as shown in Fig. 6 . At the same time, zinc diffuses through the iron-aluminum alloy layer 10 into crystal grain boundaries 8 of the steel sheet 5, and an iron-zinc alloy is produced along the crystal grain boundaries 8. Then, as shown in Fig. 7, a change in volume is produced under the effect of the production of an iron-zinc alloy along the crystal grain boundaries 8, which in turn causes a mechanical breakage of the thick iron-aluminum alloy layer 10. Pieces 10' of the thus broken iron-aluminum alloy layer 10 are peeled off from the interface between the steel sheet 5 and the zinc dip-plating layer 9, and are pushed out into the zinc dip-plating layer 9. Iron and zinc come into contact with each other in each of portions where the thick iron-aluminum alloy layer 10 has disappeared, and an alloying reaction immediately takes place between iron and zinc, thus formng an out-burst structure 6'. After the completion of the out-burst reaction as described above, the alloying reaction between iron and zinc proceeds. In the method of the first embodiment of the invention, since the thick iron-aluminum alloy layer 10 is formed over a large area, the lateral growth of the out-burst structure 6' is inhibited. As a result, the out-burst structure 6' grows outside in a direction at right angles to the surface of the steel sheet 5. In each of regions where the iron-aluminum alloy layer 10 remains, a fine concavity 12 is formed as shown in Fig. 8 , by consuming zinc in each of the regions where the iron-aluminum alloy layer 10 remains, for forming the iron-zinc alloy along with the growth of the out-burst structure 6'. In the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet thus obtained, most of the numerous fine concavities have a depth of at least 2 µ m, the number of fine concavities having a depth of at least 2 µm is within a range of f rom 200 to 8,200 per mm 2 of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer, and the total opening area per a unit area of the fine concavities having a depth of at least 2 µm is within a range of from 10 to 70% of the unit area. Now, the following paragraphs describe the reasons why the zinc dip-plating treatment condition and the alloying treatment condition are limited as described above in the method of the first embodiment of the invention for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet excellent in press-formability. With an aluminum content of under 0.05 wt.% in the zinc dip-plating bath in the zinc dip-plating treatment, even when the initial reaction, in which an iron-aluminum alloy layer is formed, takes place within a temperature range of from 500 to 600 °C in the zinc dip-plating bath, the thus produced iron-aluminum alloy layer is too thin to inhibit the lateral growth of the out-burst structure, thus making it impossible to form numerous fine concavities. With an aluminum content of over 0.30 wt.%, on the other hand, the inhibiting effect of the alloying reaction between iron and zinc brought about by the iron-aluminum layer, is so strong that the application of the alloying treatment under any conditions cannot cause an alloying reaction between iron and zinc. The aluminum content in the zinc dip-plating bath in the zinc dip-plating treatment should therefore be limited within a range of from 0.05 to 0.30 wt.%. With a temperature at which the initial reaction for forming the iron-aluminum layer in the zinc dip-plating treatment of under 500 °C , the reaction rate between aluminum and the steel sheet in the zinc dip-plating bath is low, resulting in the production of an extremely thin iron-aluminum alloy layer. As a result, the lateral growth of the out-burst structure cannot be inhibited, and therefore, numerous fine concavities cannot be formed. When the temperature at which the above-mentioned initial reaction takes place is over 600 °C , on the other hand, the very high reaction rate between aluminum and the steel sheet in the zinc dip-plating bath, while producing a sufficiently thick iron-aluminum alloy layer, causes simultaneously sudden increase in the reaction rate between zinc and the steel sheet. As a result, it is impossible to inhibit the growth of the iron-zinc alloy layer, and therefore, to form numerous fine concavities. The temperature at which the initial reaction, in which the iron-aluminum alloy layer is formed, takes place should therefore be limited within a range of from 500 to 600 °C . Conceivable means to cause the above-mentioned initial reaction at a temperature within a range of from 500 to 600 °C , include dipping a steel sheet having a temperature within a range of from 500 to 600 °C into a zinc dip-plating bath; dipping a steel sheet into a zinc dip-plating bath having a temperature within a range of from 500 to 600 °C ; or dipping a steel sheet having a temperature within a range of from 500 to 600 °C into a zinc dip-plating bath having a temperature within a range of from 500 to 600 °C . However, when dipping a steel sheet having a temperature within a range of from 500 to 600 °C into a zinc dip-plating bath, temperature of the steel sheet becomes the same as that of the bath having a large heat capacity immediately after the occurrence of the initial reaction at an appropriate temperature. When the steel sheet has a small thickness, the appropriate initial reaction time is shorter. When the steel sheet is dipped into a zinc dip-plating bath having a temperature within a range of from 500 to 600 °C , temperature of the steel sheet immediately becomes the same as that of the bath having a large heat capacity. It is therefore possible to cause the initial reaction at an appropriate temperature. However, when the steel sheet has a large thickness, temperature may come off the appropriate range for the initial reaction at the very beginning of the initial reaction because the steel sheet has a relatively large heat capacity. It is therefore desirable to dip a steel sheet having a temperature within a range of from 500 to 600 °C into a zinc dip-plating bath having a temperature within a range of from 500 to 600 °C . It is not necessary that the entire bath has a temperature within a range of from 500 to 600 °C , but it suffices that a portion where the initial reaction takes place, i.e., the proximity to the portion where the steel sheet passes therethrough, has a temperature within a range of from 500 to 600 °C . With an alloying treatment temperature of under 480 °C , columnar crystals comprising ζ -phase grow prior to the occurrence of the out-burst reaction, so that numerous fine concavities cannot be formed. With an alloying treatment temperature of over 600 °C , on the other hand, the alloying reaction between iron and zinc becomes stronger, so that the inhibiting effect of the alloying reaction between iron and zinc brought about by the iron-aluminum alloy layer, becomes relatively weaker. As a result, the lateral growth of the out-burst structure cannot be inhibited, thus making it impossible to form numerous fine concavities. Since the alloying treatment temperature is high, furthermore, part of zinc evaporates, and the structure near the interface between the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer and the steel sheet transforms into a brittle Γ -phase, resulting in a serious decrease in powdering resistance. The most active out-burst reaction takes place at a temperature near 500 °C . The alloying treatment temperature should therefore be limited within a range of from 480 to 600 °C , and more preferably, within a range of from 480 to 540 °C . In the method of the first embodiment of the invention, numerous fine concavities are formed through the utilization of the alloying reaction as described above. Therefore, unlike the conventional technique in which press-formability of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet is improved by subjecting same to a temper-rolling with the use of laser-textured dull rolls, the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer is never damaged. It is therefore possible to impart an excellent powdering resistance to the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. Furthermore, the press oil is satisfactorily kept in the numerous fine concavities formed on the surface of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer, and as a result, numerous microscopic pools for the press oil can be independently formed on the friction interface between the die and the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. Since the press oil received in the numerous microscopic pools on the friction interface bears only part of the contact surface pressure even under a high contact surface pressure between the die and the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, it is possible to avoid the direct contact between the die and the steel sheet, thus enabling to obtain an excellent press-formability. According to the method of the first embodiment of the invention, as described above, it is possible to manufacture an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet excellent not only in press-formability but also in powdering resistance. Further studies were carried out on the relationship between the manufacturing conditions of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet such as the cold-rolling condition, the chemical composition of the zinc dip-plating bath, the alloying treatment condition and the temper-rolling condition, on the one hand, and the characteristics such as image clarity after painting, press-formability and powdering resistance of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, on the other hand. First, the relationship between a surface roughness of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, i.e., a center-line mean roughness (Ra) and a filtered center-line waviness (Wca), on the one hand, and image clarity after painting of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, on the other hand, was investigated in accordance with the following method. More particularly, each of various alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets having surface roughness different from each other, was subjected to a three-coat painting comprising an electropainting step applied for achieving a paint film thickness of 20 µ m, an intermediate-painting step applied for achieving a paint film thickness of 35 µm, and a top-painting step applied for achieving a paint film thickness of 35 µ m. Image clarity after painting of each of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets thus subjected to the above-mentioned three-coat painting, was measured with the use of an "NSIC-type image clarity measuring instrument" made by Suga Test Instrument Co., Ltd. to determine an assessment value of image clarity after painting (hereinafter referred to as the "NSIC-value"). The results of the investigation are shown in Fig.9. Fig. 9 is a graph illustrating a relationship between the NSIC-value, the center-line mean roughness (Ra) and the filtered center-line waviness (Wca) of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. Fig. 9 revealed that there was only a slight correlation between the center-line roughness (Ra), the filtered center-line waviness (Wca) and image clarity after painting of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. For each of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets after each step of the above-mentioned electropainting step, intermediate-painting step and top-painting step, the center-line mean roughness (Ra) and the filtered center-line waviness (Wca) were measured. The results showed that, for any of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets, the center-line mean roughness (Ra) and the filtered center-line waviness (Wca) converged into certain values at the time of the intermediate-painting step. This revealed that it was impossible to explain changes in image clarity after painting of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet on the basis of the center-line mean roughness (Ra) and the filtered center-line waviness (Wca) of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. Subsequently, a wavelength of the surface profile of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet was analyzed, and a relationship between a wavelength component and image clarity after painting was investigated in accordance with a method described below. First, 21 profile curves for a measuring length of 8 mm in the X-axis direction were sampled at a pitch of 50 µm in the Y-axis direction by means of a three-dimensional stylus profilometer. Three-dimensional surface profiles drawn at 20 magnifications for X-axis, 40 magnifications for Y-axis, and 1,000 magnifications for Z-axis are shown in Fig . 10. Then, with 1024 data points for each profile curve, the profile curve was subjected to the leveling treatment by the application of the least square method to eliminate a gradient of each profile curve. Then, an irregular waveform of the surface profile of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, i.e., a waveform showing an irregular fluctuation of height relative to the X-axis, was subjected to the Fourier transformation to decompose the waveform into the square-sum of waveheights for individual wavelengths to calculate a waveheight distribution. The thus obtained waveheight distributions for the 21 profile curves were linearly added and averaged to determine a single waveheight distribution. The square-sum of the waveheights of each wavelength was presented as a power. An amplitude spectrum was obtained by connecting these powers by a straight line. Fig.11 is a graph illustrating a relationship between a wavelength of a surface profile and a power thereof, obtained through a wavelength analysis, in amplitude spectra of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. A correlation coefficient between the power for each wavelength of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet and the NSIC-value of the three-coat painted alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet was determined from the results of the wavelength analysis carried out as described above, and correlation coefficients for the individual wavelengths were plotted. Fig. 12 is a graph illustrating a relationship between a correlation coefficient between an NSIC-value and amplitude spectra of a surface profile in a certain wavelength region of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, on the one hand, and a wavelength of a surface profile of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, on the other hand. As shown in Fig. 12, there is a close correlation between image clarity after painting and the power within a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µ m, and it was revealed that the surface profile within a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm exerted an adverse effect on image clarity after painting. Giving attention to the fact that elimination of the surface profile within the wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm is effective for improving image clarity after painting, further studies were carried out. A relationship between a wavelength of a surface profile and a power thereof was investigated, for each of cold-rolled steel sheets subjected to a cold-rolling treatment using, at least at a final roll stand in a cold-rolling mill, rolls of which a surface profile was adjusted so that a center-line mean roughness (Ra) was within a range of from 0.1 to 0.8 µm, and an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm, which amplitude spectra were obtained through the Fourier transformation of a profile curve of the cold-rolled steel sheet after the cold-rolling treatment, was up to 200 µm 3 , and for each of a plurality of alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets manufactured under different conditions using the above-mentioned cold-rolled steel sheets. The results are shown in Fig. 13. In Fig. 13, "a" indicates an amplitude spectrum of a cold-rolled steel sheet; "b" indicates an amplitude spectrum of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet not subjected to a temper-rolling; "c" indicates an amplitude spectrum of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet subjected to a temper-rolling with the use of ordinary rolls; and "d" indicates an amplitude spectrum of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet subjected to a temper-rolling with the use of rolls of which a surface profile is adjusted so that a center-line mean roughness (Ra) is up to 0.5 µm, and an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm, which amplitude spectra are obtained through the Fourier transformation of a profile curve of the cold-rolled steel sheet after the temper-rolling treatment, is up to 200 µm 3 . The integral value of the amplitude spectrum "a" in the wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm was 98 µm 3 , the integral value of the amplitude spectrum "b" in the above-mentioned wavelength region was 160 µm 3 , the integral value of the amplitude spectrum "c" in the above-mentioned wavelength region was 100 µm 3 , and the integral value of the amplitude spectrum "d" in the above-mentioned wavelength region was 50 µ m 3 . A relationship between a wavelength of a surface profile and a power thereof was investigated, for each of cold-rolled steel sheets subjected to a cold-rolling treatment using, at least at a final roll stand in a cold-rolling mill, rolls of which a surface profile was adjusted so that a center-line mean roughness (Ra) was within a range of from 0.1 to 0.8 µm, and an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µ m, which amplitude spectra were obtained through the Fourier transformation of a profile curve of the cold-rolled steel sheet after the cold-rolling treatment, was up to 500 µm 3 , and for each of a plurality of alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets manufactured under different conditions using the above-mentioned cold-rolled steel sheets. The results are shown in Fig. 14. In Fig. 14 "a" indicates an amplitude spectrum of a cold-rolled steel sheet; "b" indicates an amplitude spectrum of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet not subjected to a temper-rolling; "c" indicates an amplitude spectrum of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet subjected to a temper-rolling with the use of ordinary rolls; and "d" indicates an amplitude spectrum of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet subjected to a temper-rolling with the use of rolls of which a surface profile is adjusted so that a center-line mean roughness (Ra) is up to 0.5 µm, and an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm, which amplitude spectra are obtained through the Fourier transformation of a profile curve of the cold-rolled steel sheet after the temper-rolling treatment, is up to 100 µm 3 . The integral value of the amplitude spectrum "a" in the wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm was 485 µm 3 , the integral value of the amplitude spectrum "b" in the above-mentioned wavelength region was 523 µm 3 , the integral value of the amplitude spectrum "c" in the above-mentioned wavelength region was 250 µ m 3 , and the integral value of the amplitude spectrum "d" in the above-mentioned wavelength region was 7 0 µ m 3 . Findings obtained from Figs. 13 and 14 were as follows: (1) It is possible to impart an excellent image clarity after painting to an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, by applying a zinc dip-plating treatment and an alloying treatment followed by an temper-rolling treatment to a cold-rolled steel sheet, subjected to a cold-rolling treatment using, at least at a final roll stand in a cold-rolling mill, rolls of which a surface profile is adjusted so that a center-line mean roughness (Ra) is within a range of from 0.1 to 0.8 µ m, and an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm, which amplitude spectra are obtained through the Fourier transformation of a profile curve of the cold-rolled steel sheet after the cold-rolling treatment, is up to 200 µm 3 ; and (2) It is possible to impart a further excellent image clarity after painting to an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, by applying a zinc dip-plating treatment and an alloying treatment followed by a temper-rolling treatment to a cold-rolled steel sheet, subjected to a cold-rolling treatment using, at least at a final roll stand in a cold-rolling mill, rolls of which a surface profile is adjusted so that a center-line mean roughness (Ra) is within a range of from 0.1 to 0.8 µm, and an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm, which amplitude spectra are obtained through the Fourier transformation of a profile curve of the cold-rolled steel sheet after the cold-rolling treatment, is up to 500 µm 3 , the above-mentioned temper-rolling treatment being carried out using rolls of which a surface profile is adjusted so that a center-line mean roughness (Ra) is up to 0.5 µm, and an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm, which amplitude spectra are obtained through the Fourier transformation of a profile curve of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet after the temper-rolling treatment, is up to 200 µm 3 . Fig. 15 is a graph illustrating, in an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet manufactured by a conventional manufacturing method including a conventional temper-rolling treatment using ordinary temper-rolling rolls, a relationship between an elongation rate of the steel sheet brought about by the temper-rolling treatment, on the one hand, and an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm of the cold-rolled steel sheet, on the other hand. As shown in Fig. 15, when a conventional temper-rolling is carried out using ordinary temper-rolling rolls, a satisfactory image clarity after painting is available by using, as a substrate sheet for plating, a cold-rolled steel sheet subjected to a cold-rolling treatment so that a integral value of the amplitude spectra in the wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm is up to 200 µm 3 . Fig. 16 is a graph illustrating, in an alloying-treated: iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet manufactured by the method of the first embodiment of the invention, which include a temper-rolling treatment using special rolls of which a surface profile is adjusted so that a center-line mean roughness (Ra) is up to 0.5 µm, and an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm, which amplitude spectra are obtained through the Fourier transformation of a profile curve of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet after the temper-rolling treatment, is up to 200 µm 3 , a relationship between an elongation rate of the plated steel sheet brought about by the temper-rolling treatment, on the one hand, and an integral value of the amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm 3 of the cold-rolled steel sheet, on the other hand. As shown in Fig. 16, it is possible to obtain a satisfactory image clarity after painting, by using, as a substrate sheet for plating, a cold-rolled steel sheet subjected to a temper-rolling treatment so that an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm is up to 500 µm 3 relative to the elongation rate of up to 5.0% of the steel sheet in the temper-rolling treatment. Since the range of manufacturing conditions of alloying-treated zinc dip-plated steel sheets excellent in image clarity after painting becomes wider in this case, there is available an improved productivity. Fig. 17 is a graph illustrating a relationship between an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet and an NSIC-value thereof. As shown in Fig. 17, when an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet is up to 200 µm 3 , the NSIC-value becomes at least 85, suggesting image clarity after painting on a satisfactory level. Fig. 18 is a graph illustrating a relationship between an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm for each of a cold-rolled steel sheet and an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, on the one hand, and an elongation rate of a plated steel sheet brought about by a temper-rolling treatment, on the other hand.

The dotted line indicates a cases of using ordinary temper-rolling rolls, and the solid line, a case of using special temper-rolling rolls according to the present invention. As shown in Fig. 18 in order to achieve an integral value of amplitude spectra of up to 200 µm 3 in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet through the temper-rolling treatment with an elongation rate of up to 5.0%, it is necessary to achieve an integral value of amplitude spectra of up to 500 µm 3 in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm of the cold-rolled steel sheet, relative to the elongation rate during the temper-rolling. In the method of the first embodiment of the invention, it is possible to manufacture an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet having an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer provided with numerous fine concavities satisfying the following conditions, by combining the above-mentioned special conditions regarding the cold-rolling treatment and the temper-rolling treatment and the above-mentioned special conditions regarding the zinc dip-plating treatment and the alloying treatment: (1) most of the numerous fine concavities have a depth of at least 2 µm; (2) the number of fine concavities having a depth of at least 2 µm is within a range of from 200 to 8,200 per mm 2 of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer; and (3) the fine concavities having a depth of at least 2 µm further satisfy the following conditions: a bearing length ratio tp (2 µ m) is within a range of from 30 to 90%, the bearing length ratio tp (2 µ m) being expressed, when cutting a profile curve over a prescribed length thereof by means of a straight line parallel to a horizontal mean line and located below the highest peak in the profile curve by 2 µ m, by a ratio in percentage of a total length of cut portions thus determined of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer having a surface profile which corresponds to the profile curve, relative to the prescribed length of the profile curve. Now, the reasons of limiting the cold-rolling treatment conditions and the temper-rolling treatment conditions as described above in the methods of the first embodiment of the invention are described below. A center-line mean roughness (Ra) of under 0.1 of rolls at least at the final roll stand of a cold-rolling mill is not desirable because of easy occurrence of flaws caused by the rolls in an annealing furnace. On the other hand, a center-line mean roughness (Ra) of over 0.8 of the above-mentioned rolls is not desirable, because portions having a surface profile in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm increase on the surface of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. The center-line mean roughness (Ra) of the rolls at least at the final roll stand of the cold-rolling mill should therefore preferably be limited within a range of from 0.1 to 0.8 µm. When an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 of a cold-rolled steel sheet is over 200 µm 3 , it is impossible to keep the integral value of amplitude spectra to up to 200 µm 3 in the wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet after the completion of the temper-rolling treatment, under certain conditions of the temper-rolling treatment which is carried out after the zinc dip-plating treatment, resulting in the impossibility of obtaining a satisfactory image clarity after painting. The integral value of amplitude spectra in the wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm should therefore preferably be kept to up to 200 µm 3 . More specifically, in case where a cold-rolled steel sheet is subjected to a temper-rolling treatment at a prescribed elongation rate after forming thereon an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer, when an integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm of a cold-rolled steel sheet is over 500 µm 3 , it is impossible to keep the integral value of amplitude spectra to up to 200 µm 3 in the wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet after the completion of the temper-rolling treatment, even when the temper-rolling treatment is appropriately carried out, thus making it impossible to obtain a satisfactory image clarity after painting. Therefore, the integral value of amplitude spectra in the wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm of the cold-rolled steel sheet should preferably be kept to up to 500 µm 3 . A center-line mean roughness (Ra) over 0.5 of rolls in the temper-rolling treatment is not desirable, because portions having a surface profile in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm increase on the surface of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. The center-line mean roughness (Ra) of the rolls in the temper-rolling treatment should therefore preferably be kept to up to 0.5 µ m. When integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet after the completion of the temper-rolling treatment is over 200 µ m 3 , image clarity after painting of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet is deteriorated. The integral value of amplitude spectra in the wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet after the completion of the temper-rolling treatment should therefore preferably be kept to up to 200 µm 3 . With an elongation rate of under 0.3% in the temper-rolling treatment, the integral value of amplitude spectra in the wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet cannot be kept to up to 200 µ m 3 , making it impossible to impart an excellent image clarity after painting to the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. With an elongation rate of over 5.0%, on the other hand, the quality of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet is deteriorated under the effect of working-hardening. Therefore, the elongation rate in the temper-rolling treatment should preferably be limited within a range of from 0.3 to 5.0%. Now, the method of the first embodiment of the invention for manufacturing an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet, is described below further in detail by means of examples while comparing with examples for comparison. Example 1 of the invention Various alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets having a prescribed plating weight and within the scope of the present invention, were manufactured by means of a continuous zinc dip-plating line, with the use of a plurality of IF steel (abbreviation of "interstitial atoms free steel")-based cold-rolled steel sheets having a thickness of 0.8 mm. More specifically, each of the above-mentioned plurality of cold-rolled steel sheets was subjected to a zinc dip-plating treatment, an alloying treatment and a temper-rolling treatment in accordance with the conditions within the scope of the first embodiment of the invention while changing the conditions of these treatments. The thus manufactured alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets comprised a plurality of plated steel sheets each having a plating weight of 30 g/m 2 per surface of the steel sheet, a plurality of plated steel sheets each having a plating weight of 45 g/m 2 per surface of the steel sheet, and a plurality of plated steel sheets each having a plating weight of 60 g/m 2 per surface of the steel sheet. A plurality of samples within the scope of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the "samples of the invention") were prepared from the thus manufactured plurality of alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets each having an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer formed on each of the both surfaces thereof. For comparison purposes, various alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets outside the scope of the present invention, were manufactured by subjecting a plurality of cold-rolled steel sheets to a zinc dip-plating treatment, an alloying treatment and a temper-rolling treatment under conditions in which at least one of the zinc dip-plating treatment condition and the alloying treatment condition was outside the scope of the present invention. The thus manufactured alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets comprised a plurality of plated steel sheets each having a plating weight of 30 g/m 2 per surface of the steel sheet, a plurality of plated steel sheets each having a plating weight of 45 g/m 2 per surface of the steel sheet, and a plurality of plated steel sheets each having a plating weight of 60 g/m 2 per surface of the steel sheet. A plurality of samples outside the scope of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the "samples for comparison") were prepared from the thus manufactured plurality of alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets each having an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer formed on each of the both surfaces thereof. For each of the samples of the invention and the samples for comparison, the plating weight, the aluminum content in the zinc dip-plating bath, the temperature of the cold-rolled steel sheet and the bath temperature in the zinc dip-plating treatment; the initial reaction temperature and the alloying treatment temperature in the alloying treatment; and the elongation rate in the temper-rolling treatment, are shown in Tables 1 to 4. For each of the samples of the invention and the samples for comparison, press-formability, powdering resistance and image clarity after painting were investigated in accordance with the following test methods: Press-formability was tested in accordance with the following method. More specifically, a coefficient of friction of the surface of the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet for evaluating press-formability, was measured with the use of a frictional coefficient measurer as shown in Fig. 24. A bead 14 used in this test comprised tool steel specified in SKD 11 of the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS). There was a contact area of 3 mm× 10 mm between the bead 14 and a sample 15 (i.e., each of the samples of the invention Nos. 4 to 10 and 12 to 14, and the samples for comparison Nos. 1 to 3, 11, 15 and 16). The sample 15 applied with a lubricant oil on the both surfaces thereof was fixed on a test stand 16 on rollers 17. While pressing the bead 14 against the sample 15 under a pressing load (N) of 400 kg, the test stand 16 was moved along a rail 20 to pull the sample 15 together with the test stand 16 at a rate of 1 m/minute. A pulling load (F) and the pressing load (N) at this moment were measured with the use of load cells 18 and 19. A coefficient of friction (F/N) of the sample 15 was calculated on the basis of the pulling load (F) and the pressing load (N) thus measured. The lubricant oil applied onto the surface of the sample 15 was "NOX RUST 530F" manufactured by Nihon Perkerizing Co., Ltd. The criteria for evaluation of press-formability were as follows: Value of coefficient of friction (F/N) of up to 0.142 Very good press-formability Value of coefficient of friction (F/N) of over 0.142 to under 0.150 Good press-formability value of coefficient of friction (F/N) of at least 0.150 Poor press-formability. The test results of press-formability are shown also in Tables 1 to 4. Powdering resistance was tested in accordance with the following method. More specifically, powdering resistance, which serves as an index of peeling property of an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer, was evaluated as follows, using a draw-bead tester as shown in Figs. 25 and 26. First, an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer on a surface not to be measured of a sample 23 (i.e., each of the samples of the invention Nos. 4 to 10 and 12 to 14, and the samples for comparison Nos. 1 to 3, 11, 15 and 16) having a width of 30 mm and a length of 120 mm, was removed through dissolution by a diluted hydrochloric acid. Then, the sample 23 was degreased, and the weight of the sample 23 was measured. Then, a lubricant oil was applied onto the both surfaces of the sample 23, which was then inserted into a gap between a bead 21 and a female die 22 of the draw-bead tester. Then, the female die 22 was pressed through the sample 23 against the bead 21 under a pressure (P) of 500 kgf/cm 2 by operating a hydraulic device 25. A pressing pressure (P) was measured with the use of a load cell 24. The sample 23 thus placed between the bead 21 and the female die 22 was then pulled out from the draw-bead tester at a pulling speed (V) of 200 mm/minute to squeeze same. The lubricant oil applied onto the surface of the sample 15 was "NOX RUST 530F" made by Nihon Parkerizing Co., Ltd. Then, the sample 23 was degreased. An adhesive tape was stuck onto a surface to be measured, and then the adhesive tape was peeled off from the surface to be measured. Then, the sample 23 was degreased again and weighed. Powdering resistance was determined from the difference in weight between before and after the test. The criteria for evaluation of powdering resistance were as follows: Amount of powdering of under 5 g/m 2 good powdering resistance Amount of powdering of at least 5 g/m 2 poor powdering resistance. The test results of powdering resistance are shown also in Tables 1 to 4. Image clarity after painting was tested in accordance with the following method. More specifically, each sample was subjected to a chemical treatment with the use of a chemical treatment liquid "PB-L3080" made by Nihon Perkerizing Co., Ltd., and then to a three-coat painting which comprised an electropainting step, an intermediate-painting step, and a top-painting step with the use of paints "E1-2000" for the electropainting, "TP-37 GRAY" for the intermediate-painting and "TM-13(RC)" for the top-painting, made by Kansai Paint Co., Ltd. For each of the thus painted samples, an evaluation value of image clarity after painting, i.e., an NSIC-value, was measured with the use of an "NSIC-type image clarity measurement instrument" made by Suga Test Instrument Co., Ltd. A black polished glass has an NSIC-value of 100, and an NSIC-value closer to 100 corresponds to a better image clarity after painting. The test results of r image clarity after painting are shown also in Tables 1 to 4. As is clear from Tables 1 to 4, the sample for comparison No. 57, in which the aluminum content in the zinc dip-plating bath was small outside the scope of the present invention, was poor in press-formability and powdering resistance. In the sample for comparison No. 100, no alloying reaction took place between iron and zinc because the aluminum content in the zinc dip-plating bath was large outside the scope of the present invention. The samples for comparison Nos. 58, 63, 68, 81, 90, 95, 102 and 111, in which the initial reaction temperature was low outside the scope of the present invention, and the samples for comparison Nos. 62, 67, 76, 85, 94, 99, 106 and 115, in which the initial reaction temperature was high outside the scope of the present invention, were poor in press-formability. The samples for comparison Nos. 77, 86, 107 and 116, in which the alloying treatment temperature was low outside the scope of the present invention, were poor in press-formability. The samples for comparison Nos. 80, 89, 110 and 119, in which the alloying treatment temperature was high outside the scope of the present invention, were poor in powdering resistance. The samples for comparison Nos. 59, 64, 69, 82, 91, 96, 103 and 112, having an elongation rate of 0%, i.e., which were not subjected to a temper-rolling treatment, were poor in image clarity after painting. The sample for comparison No. 101 was poor in powdering resistance because the plated steel sheet was temper-rolled with the use of the laser-textured dull rolls, and as a result, the plating layer was damaged. In contrast, all the samples of the invention Nos. 60, 61, 65, 66, 70 to 75, 78, 79, 83, 84, 87, 88, 92, 93, 97, 98, 104, 105, 108, 109, 113, 114, 117 and 118, in which the aluminum content in the zinc dip-plating bath, the initial reaction temperature, the alloying temperature and the elongation rate were all within the scope of the present invention, were good in all of press-formability, powdering resistance, and image clarity after painting. Example 2 of the invention A plurality of cold-rolled steel sheets were prepared by subjecting a plurality of IF steel-based hot-rolled steel sheets having a thickness of 0.8 mm to a cold-rolling treatment in accordance with the cold-rolling conditions within the scope of the present invention. Then, various alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets within the scope of the present invention, were manufactured by subjecting each of the thus prepared cold-rolled steel sheets to a zinc dip-plating treatment, an alloying treatment and a temper-rolling treatment in this order, while changing the conditions of these treatments within the scope of the present invention. The thus manufactured alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets comprised a plurality of plated steel sheets each having a plating weight of 30 g/m 2 per surface of the steel sheet, a plurality of plated steel sheets each having a plating weight of 45 g/m 2 per surface of the steel sheet, and a plurality of plated steel sheets each having a plating weight of 60 g/m 2 per surface of the steel sheet. A plurality of samples within the scope of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the "samples of the invention") were prepared from the thus manufactured plurality of alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets each having an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer formed on each of the both surfaces thereof. For comparison purposes, various alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets outside the scope of the present invention, were manufactured by subjecting a plurality of hot-rolled steel sheets to a cold-rolling treatment, a zinc dip-plating treatment, an alloying treatment and a temper-rolling treatment under conditions in which at least one of the cold-rolling treatment condition, the zinc dip-plating treatment condition, the alloying treatment condition and the temper-rolling treatment condition was outside the scope of the present invention. The thus manufactured alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets comprised a plurality of plated steel sheets each having a plating weight of 30 g/m 2 per surface of the steel sheet, a plurality of plated steel sheets each having a plating weight of 45 g/m 2 per surface of the steel sheet, and a plurality of plated steel sheets each having a plating weight of 60 g/m 2 per surface of the steel sheet. A plurality of samples outside the scope of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the "samples for comparison") were prepared from the thus manufactured plurality of alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheets each having an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer formed on each of the both surfaces thereof. For each of the samples of the invention and the samples for comparison, the center-line mean roughness (Ra) of the cold-rolling rolls in the cold-rolling treatment, and the integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µ m, which amplitude spectra were obtained through the Fourier transformation of the profile curve of the cold-rolled steel sheet; the plating weight, the aluminum content in the zinc dip-plating bath, the temperature of the cold-rolled steel sheet, and the bath temperature in the zinc dip-plating treatment; the initial reaction temperature and the alloying treatment temperature in the alloying treatment; and the center-line mean roughness (Ra) of the temper-rolling rolls, the elongation rate in the temper-rolling treatment, and the integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µ m, which amplitude spectra were obtained through the Fourier transformation of the profile curve of the temper-rolled alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet in the temper-rolling treatment, are shown in Tables 5 to 7. For each of the samples of the invention and the samples for comparison, press-formability, powdering resistance and image clarity after painting were investigated in accordance with the same manner as in Example 1 of the invention. The test results are shown also in Tables 5 to 7. As is clear from Tables 5 to 7, the sample of the invention No. 120 was good in all of press-formability, powdering resistance and image clarity after painting. However, because the center-line mean roughness (Ra) of the cold-rolling rolls was small in the manufacturing method of the sample of the invention No. 120, the sample of the invention No. 120 showed a slightly degraded quality of the cold-rolled steel sheet as a result of an easy occurrence of roll defects on the cold-rolling rolls. In the manufacture of the samples of the invention Nos. 125 to 127, the hot-rolled steel sheet was cold-rolled with the use of the rolls providing a high integral value of amplitude spectra of the cold-rolled steel sheet, and the alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet was temper-rolled with the use of the conventional rolls providing a high integral value of amplitude spectra of the temper-rolled alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. Consequently, the samples of the invention Nos. 125 to 127 were somewhat poor in image clarity after painting. The sample of the invention No. 134 was good in all of press-formability, powdering resistance and image clarity after painting, but a slight quality degradation was observed in the product because of the high elongation rate in the temper-rolling. The samples for comparison Nos. 135 and 136 were poor in press-formability because the alloying temperature was low outside the scope of the present invention. The sample for comparison No. 138 was poor in powdering resistance because of the use of a cold-rolled steel sheet which was given a surface profile by the laser-textured dull rolls. The sample for comparison No. 142 was poor in press-formability and powdering resistance because the alloying temperature was high outside the scope of the present invention. The sample for comparison No. 143 was poor in press-formability and powdering resistance because the aluminum content in the zinc dip-plating bath was small outside the scope of the present invention. The sample for comparison No. 149 had no alloying reaction between iron and zinc because the aluminum content in the zinc dip-plating bath was large outside the scope of the present invention. The sample of the invention No. 150, while being good in press-formability and powdering resistance, was somewhat poor in image clarity after painting because of the large integral value of amplitude spectra of the temper-rolled alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet. The samples of the invention Nos. 121 to 124, 128 to 133, 137, 139 to 141 and 144 to 148 of which the center-line mean roughness (Ra) of the rolls in the cold-rolling treatment, the integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µ m, which amplitude spectra were obtained through the Fourier transformation of the profile curve of the cold-rolled steel sheet, the aluminum content in the zinc dip-plating bath, the initial reaction temperature and the alloying treatment temperature in the alloying treatment, the center-line mean roughness (Ra) of the rolls in the temper-rolling treatment, the elongation rate and the integral value of amplitude spectra in a wavelength region of from 100 to 2,000 µm, which amplitude spectra were obtained through the Fourier transformation of the profile curve of the temper-rolled alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plated steel sheet were all within the scope of the present invention, were good in all of press-formability, powdering resistance and image clarity after painting.
